The MS MonSter isn’t funny. Not at all. But sometimes our
own antics can crack us up – in more ways than one.
OK, maybe that’s not funny, either. Dropping and breaking
things, or falling and breaking ourselves are anything but comical.
And if anyone else laughs first at our
neurologically-induced clumsiness, the whole army of MSers might band together
to teach that tacky and heartless hooligan a lesson.
But when we do it
ourselves, it can be downright hilarious.
I cannot count the number of times I’ve had a slew of
dropsies, as items have slipped right out of my hands without warning.
Or the
many moments when I’ve found myself flat on the floor, suddenly staring at sky.
How about those unpredicted encounters with doors or walls or furniture or
inanimate objects, either in the dark or in plain daylight?
More than once, I wondered what a police officer on night duty
might think, if he asked me to walk in a straight line and found that (stone
cold sober) I might miss the mark.
Don’t even get me started about falling upstairs. That’s a
real trip.
Hey, I have a doctor’s note for that.
Score three points
against the MonSter.
Laughing at others may be cruel. But poking fun at ourselves
just might make us feel better.
